What to Do if Your Pet is Lost

If your pet is missing, we recommend:

  • Checking the PetCoLoveLost website to see if your pet has been taken to an animal shelter. PetCo Love Lost (formerly Finding Rover) is a tool to help you reunite with your lost pet. The app provides instant identification of missing dogs and cats using photo facial recognition. The app matches faces of lost dogs and cats with those found or brought to the shelter and surrounding areas, allowing owners to look for their animals via smartphone or computer.

  • Checking https://24petconnect.com/PP18217 to determine if your pet is at the animal shelter.

  • Reaching out to the Lost Dogs Denton TX Facebook group to see if anyone found your pet.

  • Posting flyers in your neighborhood.


    If you believe your pet is at the animal shelter, email AnimalServices@cityofdenton.com immediately with the animal ID number (assigned during pet registration) noted in the subject line. You can also speak to a customer service representative in the front lobby during regular business hours and begin the reclaim process (fees may apply).
